Told from the perspective of Rhapsody

Tania says to Madison, in English, "someone was at hoolies yesterday flashing a picture of you and asking if we knew you or where you are."

Madison says, in English, "Oh dear. What sort of someone?"

Tania says, in English, "beats me. i was daydreaming. some guy in a suit."

Madison says, in English, "Latino-like by any chance?"

Rhapsody nods. "Sisyphus and Ars said some guy in a limo stopped them on the street.."

Tania says, in English, "think so. not sure. i didn't pay attention. frankie might remember more. the guy talked to him."

Tania says, in English, "neither of us spilled the beans tho."

Tania grins lopsidedly.

You say, "They didn't get the whole plate number, but the first few letters "A-Z-T""

Madison says, in English, "Well, foo. That ain't good... fraggin' corp goons."

Tania snuggles up to you.

Madison exhales loudly.

Tania looks at you.

Tania nods towards Madison.

Tania looks at Madison.

Madison says to Tania, in English, "You still current with yer decking?"

You say to Madison, "So what do you think you did?"

Tania shakes her head.

Tania says, in English, "i'm sorry to say, no. i don't even have a deck anymore."

Tania says, in English, "frank might be able to help with that tho. or daedalus."

Tania grins lopsidedly.

Madison says, in English, "Me? Uh, piss off some azzie goons. They tried to talk to me, only refused to, yanno, talk."

Tania adjusts her beret.

You say, "I mean...what does the container yard have to do with the Azzies?"

Madison says, in English, "So I didn't talk to them either. Shoulda been less stupid, but tha's corp goons fer ya."

Madison says, in English, "Beats me."

Madison shrugs helplessly.

Tania says, in English, "they might be trying to get a piece of the action or something."

Madison says, in English, "Anyhoo, yeh, talked to daed, mebbe he kin dig up summat info, yanno."

Rhapsody chortles. "Madi...tell Tania what you were doing at the shipping yard with those containers.."

Tania says, in English, "stealing em?"

Tania grins lopsidedly.

Madison looks somewhat embarrased. "Naw, le's not."

Rhapsody giggles. "I think it's awesome!"

Madison says, in English, "Naw, jus' movin' em around, yanno. I wus bored."

Tania starts laughing.

Tania says, in English, "sounds like fun. it would probably make the yard manager go bonkers too."

Tania says, in English, "thinking they have ghosts or something."

Madison shrugs helplessly.

Tania giggles.

Tania says, in English, "seriously funny!"

Tania rolls around on the floor laughing hysterically!

Madison says, in English, "Eh, bit of work for someone to put it all back, but no reason to send in the limo'ed goons."

Tania lets out a nasty hack.

Tania says, in English, "maybe they saw you on the security cams."

Rhapsody nods agreeably. "There's something strange going on here."

Madison says, in English, "I wan't dere. Just remoted the whole thing."

You say to Tania, "Still, why would Aztech care?"

You boggle at the concept.

Madison says, in English, "Anyhow, they were being very unreasonable, so I figger, well, bes' stay outta their way, and if they find me, shoot foist."

Madison says, in English, "Only I dun' shoot worth nothin'."

Madison pouts.

Tania says, in English, "perhaps you messed up some kind of deal or schedule with moving the containers costing them money."

Tania shrugs helplessly.

Tania says, in English, "then again, who knows what those idiots think."

You say to Madison, "You don't want to find out what is motivating them?"


Daedalus strolls in from the south.

Daedalus sits down.

Tania beams a smile at Daedalus.

Daedalus places a gentle peck upon your cheek. Isn't he sweet!

Daedalus says, in English, "hello folks"

Madison says, in English, "Eh, I'd jus' as soon not meet'em agin."

Madison nods towards Daedalus.

You smile at him.

Daedalus says to Madison, in English, "still havent brought down aztlan?"

Tania says to Daedalus, in English, "hiya hon"

You say to Madison, "We can't have you scared of the matrix!"

Madison says, in English, "I prolly should, no? See if there's some orbital nukes I kin drop on'em or summat."

Madison says, in English, "Well not much I kin do on dere right now, kin I?"

Daedalus says, in English, "why not?"

Madison says to Daedalus, in English, "Prolly same story. Demand lots and say nuttin'. Don't spose ye found anythin' out yet either?"

Daedalus says, in English, "sisyphus had a similar story about them demanding lots and saying nothin while he was on the street"

Madison nods solemnly.

Daedalus says, in English, "all about you too"

Madison says, in English, "Shoot'em on sight fer all I care. Could put a couple kays on each goon's head, double for the chief idjit that runs this."

Madison grumbles grumpily.

Madison says, in English, "Keep the limo as a bonus."

Madison snickers softly.

Madison shakes her head.

Madison says, in English, "Anyhoo."

Daedalus says, in English, "think perhaps you might figure out how to stop them if you figured out what has them so pissed?"

You say, "You can't really kill all the Aztechs....and if you start to, it's just going to start a guerilla war on the streets of the sprawl"

Madison says, in English, "Mebbe. Dun' spose they're anywhere reasonable though."

Madison shrugs helplessly.

You say, "And make your position more precarious I fear, in the long run"

You say to Madison, "Do you have to talk to them to get the information you may need?"

Daedalus says, in English, "indeed besides your body count would be way higher down south"

Madison says, in English, "I'll be ded foist nohows. Any azzie comes close and in't polite I dun' wanna need worry 'bout no more."

Madison says to you, in English, "Dunno that, they sure didn't talk ta me."

Tania says to Daedalus, in English, "i told her already that they walked into hoolies yesterday and asked frankie and me about it. i was daydreaming tho so i didn't notice."

Daedalus says, in English, "just because no aztlaners will respond to your questions doesnt mean the information isnt available"

Daedalus says, in English, "asking is meatbod work"

Tania nods solemnly.

Madison says, in English, "'S why I need someone else to do the askin', keep couple people they're not intrested in 'tween me 'n' them."

Madison says, in English, "Yanno, bit'a trix diggin', sweep up some goons and do some creative askin', that sorta thin'."

Daedalus says, in English, "thought you were a decker"

Madison says, in English, "So?"

Daedalus says, in English, "couldnt you do that trix diggin yourself?"

Madison says, in English, "Then they pounce all over me in the trix agin. They have a whole team of heavies, jus' me 's no match."

Madison is a litte annoyed at Daedalus for missing the bleeding obvious.

Daedalus says, in English, "well you could change your mpcp and icon so it appears you are someone else and they gotta find you all over again"

Daedalus says, in English, "a lot of deckers out there doing all sorts of crazy drek on the trix"

Daedalus says, in English, "they wouldnt just be blasting them all incase its you"

Daedalus says, in English, "thats bad for business"

Madison snorts defiantly.

Madison says, in English, "The way they were bein'boot thin's they weren't carin' fer business."

Daedalus says, in English, "and how was that?"

Madison says, in English, "Bein' stupid goons an' all that."

A streaming video flashes onto the trid. A blond haired woman stands at the Learson docks holding a microphone in a white knuckled grip. "There's trouble down at the Learson Shipyard today. A riot has broken out over the low wages the dockworkers and the transport of goods has grinded to a halt." The camera pans behind her. A bunch of hispanics are marching around in a circle wielding signs "Give us mas Dinero!" and "Mas bueno plata!" are what a few of them read. "This strike is scheduled outside of the normal cycle of their union, leaving officials at a loss of what to do." The camera pans to the shipping containers. Some of the doors are hanging open and men are rifling through them. One hispanic man notices that the camera is watching him, he takes a handful of ruined produce and throws it at the viewfinder...the report winks out.

Tania snickers softly.

Tania says to Madison, in English, "if that started because of what you did, it gives a clue to why they are looking for you."

Madison shrugs helplessly.

Madison says, in English, "I jus' moved couple of those containers 'round. If that's what it takes to trigger a strike dey got bigger problems."

Daedalus says, in English, "i cant think of another way to get away with breaking into the containers at this time"

Daedalus pulls his watch out of his pocket checks the time and puts his watch back in his pocket

Madison says, in English, "Didn't see me castle still standin' so I spose dey got that sorted anyway."

Tania says, in English, "anyways, i need to go talk to dmitri."

Tania says to Madison, in English, "keep me posted ok hon? if there is anything i can do, let me know."

Madison says, in English, "Breaking into containers?"

Daedalus says, in English, "bring him dis way"

Tania places a gentle peck upon your cheek. Isn't she sweet!

Madison raises her eyebrow.

Daedalus says, in English, "perhaps he would be interested"

Tania says, in English, "want me to invite him over then?"

Madison shrugs helplessly.

Madison says, in English, "I'unno, dunno the guy."

Tania says, in English, "he's my brother."

Tania grins lopsidedly.

Tania says, in English, "adopted brother actually. i do that from time to time."

Madison says, in English, "Eh?"

Tania winks at Madison.

Tania says, in English, "i adopt people."

Tania giggles.

Madison says, in English, "Ye can't adopt brothers."

Madison shakes her head.

Tania says, in English, "i can. i'm old enough for it."

Tania giggles.

Tania says into her phone in English, "privet"

Madison raises her eyebrow.

Rhapsody is no one's family. "Sniff"

Daedalus sips from a Mojito in a stylish glass.

Tania says into her phone in English, "i'm at the securo-ja. something is happening. could you head over here? you might be interested in helping too. and we can talk here too. there are private rooms."

Dmitri swaggers in from the south.

Tania giggles.

Tania cuddles Dmitri.

Tania places a gentle peck on Dmitri's cheek.

Daedalus says, in English, "excellent punctuality chummer"

Madison looks at Dmitri.

Tania says, in English, "he's usually faster them i am on my razor."

Rhapsody laughs. "And on foot no doubt!"

Tania giggles.

Dmitri poses and flexes his muscles.

Daedalus says to Dmitri, in English, "hear about the riot?"

Tania says to Dmitri, in English, "silly."

Tania peers at the trid.

Dmitri says to Daedalus, in English, "Dmitryih vahz tuh zhahw ihyt ohn thehy trihyd. Ihyz vuhkhihyngk vohrehynehyrz, ahlvahyz vahnt mohr."

Tania says, in English, "did the silly thing record it?"

Dmitri glances around like he's not foreign.

Tania says, in English, "yes he did. he complains about the workers wanting always more money."

Tania grins lopsidedly.

Rhapsody shakes her head at @dmi.

Madison doesn't understand a word of it.

You say to Dmitri, "You're horrible."

You say to Dmitri, "Meet Madison..."

Tania says, in English, "good thing i'm around to interpret then right?"

Tania starts laughing.

Tania nudges Dmitri suggestively with her elbow.

Rhapsody waves a hand to @dmi.

Rhapsody meant to wave it at @madi


Madison looks vaguely perplexed. "Dmitri Horrible then?"

Tania starts laughing.

Dmitri says to Madison, in English, "Dmitryih ihyz tuh zhahy privet, ihyz pleahzyuohr tuh mheehyt yhouh. Dmitryih ihyz Dmitryih Kohrohv, noht Dmitryih Hohrrihybl. Vhahtehyvehyr hihyz rehyphouhtahyzhuhn."

Tania says, in English, "no. people just don't understand his accent. it's slightly bad."

Tania giggles.

Dmitri says, in English, "Dmitryih doehz noht hahz ahkzehynt. Ihyz noht knoh vhaht tahlk ahbouht. Hehy tahlkz pehyrvehyykt ehnglihzh."

Tania beams a smile at Dmitri.

Tania says to Dmitri, in English, "yes you do. i don't understand why they can't understand you either."

Madison smiles and nods, but doesn't look at all understanding.

Rhapsody shakes her head at @tania.

Tania says to you, in English, "you mean you can't understand it either?"

Tania scratches her head.

Daedalus says to Madison, in English, "regardless of how he sounds the horrible one will help with your problem"

Daedalus says to Dmitri, in English, "we suspect that riot may be related to a little castle building miss madison did a few nights back"

You say, "Yes, I can understand "it""

Daedalus says to Dmitri, in English, "and now the aztlaners are pissed"

Madison lets out a nasty hack.

Dmitri turns from Daedalus to Madison, brow arched.

Madison says, in English, "Yeh, well, I sorta did build a castle over there, like, outta really big container-shaped lego blocks, yanno?"

Tania says, in English, "they where at hoolies flashing around a picture of madi and asking if we knew her and where she was."

<10P>
Madison says, in English, "or maybe it's the other way 'round, or, well, they're mostly the same anyway."

Dmitri says, in English, "Hhmn. Ihyz guuhd DMitryih noht vahz tuh bhehy thehyr aht tihym."

Dmitri says, in English, "Vouhld hahv zehynt vihyg guuhz chahyz. Dmitryih ehnjhohyz thaht."

Dmitri says to Madison, in English, "Zho, yhouhr prohblehym ihyz thaht buhnch ohv pihyzzehd ohvv browhnzkihyn kahm chahyzhihyngk yhouh dohwn?"

Tania says, in English, "yes, for some reason they know had something to do it even tho she used a drone."

Madison says, in English, "Err, yeees, not at all reasonable neither. Wouldn't deal, wouldn't talk, just repeating the same question over'n'over. 'WHERE WERE YOU THEN!?!'"

Tania says to Madison, in English, "and then was during the time you where playing with their lego?"

Tania giggles.

Madison says, in English, "Thing on the trid looked like they hadn't rilly 'ad a problem with what I did thoug. Not a real one nohows."

Tania says, in English, "maybe the two things aren't really related."

Dmitri says to Madison, in English, "Dmitryih doehz noht zheehy vhy noht juhzt blohw uhp lehyghoh. Zhee-vohr vohrkz vehyl. Noht bihyg dheahyl, yhouh ahzk hihym. Hehyl, Dmitryih vihyl blohw uhp vohr thehym vohr prihyz. Vhaht ihyz prohblehym? Dmitryih zuhzpehykt ihyz noht rhealheehy leyghoh. BUht gho ohn. Hahv thehy triehyd ahnheehythihngk mohr thahn ahzk?"

Madison says, in English, "Mebbe, or they jus' blame me fer their own problems. I'unno."

Tania says to Dmitri, in English, "not at hooligans. when frank said he didn't know anything, the guy left again."

Madison thinks for a bit, tryin' to decode.

Tania says to Dmitri, in English, "he asked if they have tried anything else beside asking yet."

Tania says to Dmitri, in English, "there is about 40ish bricks of c-4 in our appartment if you need it."

Dmitri nods towards Tania.

Tania says, in English, "and a rocket launcher."

Tania grins lopsidedly.

Madison says, in English, "Well... I wan't there, yanno, jus' hacked into a crane and played 'round a bit. They sorta sucked me into their vhost then tried to intimidate me, on the trix."

Dmitri says to Madison, in English, "Ahnd yhouh... vhaht? Pihyzzehd ohn thehym, kahllehd thehyr mohthehr ah ghoht-vuhkehyr ahnd rhahn?"

Madison says, in English, "So I yanked out, and they sent an astral something after me."

Madison says, in English, "Naw, jus' talked back, said they'd have to tit for tat, yanno. Tell me who they are and what it was to them."

Madison says, in English, "No dice, just repeated same question."

Madison says, in English, "Shoulda talked. Now I'll be jus' as happy if someone blew up azzie central."

Daedalus says, in English, "now thats an interesting idea blow up the whole damn shipyard to spite them"

A bouncer comes running up to @rhaps.

Madison says, in English, "Dun' think blowin' up the docks'll do any good though."

Daedalus says, in English, "though what would be the point?"

Rhapsody leans towards the bouncer, interested.

Dmitri says to Madison, in English, "Vouhld bhehy vuhn?"

The bouncer speaks in low tones into her pointed ears..

The bouncer whispers, "there is a nekkid man outside!"

Someone slaps Tania.

Madison relaxes for a bit. Nekkid people aren't azzie goons.

Dmitri wishes more nekkid women would be /inside/.

Madison is pretty sure there's enough of those already.

Dmitri wants moar.

The bouncer claims that he is naked, but for the 12 great spirits hovering at his back. His body is apparently painted with war symbols...Rhapsody better go outside.

Madison asks for the backdoor.

Several customers start hiding under tables.

Dmitri says, in English, "Dmitryih kahn hahz... zehyfehyn rahgz ahnd ah lihytehyr?"

Madison says, in English, "Don't spose there's magical support at hand, no?"

Tania says, in English, "i'm totally unmagical."

Tania gets a blue zippo with a M inlaid in mother of pearl from a red Battlegear(TM) X-3 R.A.P.T.O.R. pack.

Daedalus says to the bouncer tell them they cant come in

Dmitri says, in English, "Dmitryih hahz thihyngkz. Juhzt ihyz tuh nheehyd rahgz ahnd lihytehyr."

Genevieve hands @dmitri the rags...

Dmitri beams a smile at Genevieve.

Tania gives a blue zippo with a M inlaid in mother of pearl to Dmitri.

Dmitri says to Genevieve, in English, "Yhouh ahr ah dohl. Spasiba."

Tania says, in English, "don't loose the lighter."

Dmitri begins pulling bottles of Kolvo from his jacket. He sets seven to one side.

Daedalus says, in English, "the owner has been quite explicit no sausage fests"

Tania wears a black Battlegear(TM) combat helmet on her head.

Tania wears a red Battlegear(TM) faceplate over her face.

The helmet and faceplate hiss and seal up.

Dmitri finishes off one bottle of Kolvo and nods, stuffing rags into the rest of them. He tilts the bottles upside down, watching liquid-dark creep up the length of the rag for a few moments before nodding, satisfied. He repeats this with each bottle and then seats himself once more, waiting. He does not need to get nekkid and change.

A average person wearing a black Battlegear(TM) combat vest's breathing sounds louder amplified by the helmet.

Madison hopes nobody'll get hurt.

Dmitri hopes somebody dies.

The spirits seep through the walls, howling fiercely for the soul they seek. "Madiiiiiissssssooooon"

A person wearing a black Battlegear(TM) combat vest blinks her eyes.

Dmitri says, in English, "Khohmyhouhnihyzhm."

A person wearing a black Battlegear(TM) combat vest says, in English, "spooky"

Madison throws up an astral barrier to keep'em out.

Dmitri shakes his head, standing and taking two bottles of the Cocktail-ized Vodka.

Rhapsody eyes @dmi, mouthing "Communication?"

Dmitri shakes his head, mouthing, "Khohmyhouhnihyzhm." He grins roguishly.

Rhapsody looks confused, but OK...whatever he wants to use as a war cry...she guesses "Communism" is as good as any other..

Dmitri was mainly referring to the spirits as communists. But Communism is an awesome warcry nonetheless.

A person wearing a black Battlegear(TM) combat vest extends set of retractable hand spurs.

Madison shouts back, "Ye had ye chance to talk and ye refused. Yer not welcome here."

Madison acts surprised that the spirits can even come in here.

Vile isn't here and they need you, so they bring stong Mojo

Dmitri has his molotov cocktails.

Madison gets a Franchi SPAS-22 from a black Mission Go Bag.

Madison puts a Franchi SPAS-22 in a black Mission Go Bag.

Tania says to Madison, in English, "i don't think that will help against spirits, dear."

Reddish orange lizards are pouring through the walls with man shaped riders sheathed in angry flames!

Tania shakes her head to clear it.

Dmitri should not have taken that axid.

Madison thinks it can only get better now.

Dmitri closes his eyes, opens them again, and repeats. "Vhaht hehyl ihyz thihyz tuh bheehy? Dmitryih noh tknoh dahym thihyngk ahbouht mahjihyk.

A average person wearing a black Battlegear(TM) combat vest says to Dmitri, in English, "this is way above my head too. i know a little but not something like this."

There are a large number of lizard mounted firey riders coming over the bar and towards the barrier

Dmitri says to Genevieve, in English, "Dmitryih vohndehyrz ihyv yhouh bhehy pihyzzehd ihyv hehy throhwz vahn ohv thihyz?"

Rhapsody growls low in her throat. "Keep the fire extinguisher ready Genevieve"

Daedalus continues sitting facing the stage

Daedalus says OOCly, "yeah sounds about right. though bear in mind they are already on fire. infact they dont appear to have a physical form other than fire"

Tania retracts set of retractable hand spurs.

Genevieve hops up onto the bartop armed with a fire extinguisher.

Dmitri lights a molotov cocktail he just happened to bring with him, aims at the elementals, pulls back and swings the everloving drek out of it yet somehow fails to release at the right moment, the cocktail stays in his hand unbroken.

Rhapsody looks alarmed!

Dmitri is surprised he didn't die.

4 lizards and riders charge against the astral barrier right infront of dmitri

The other four rush through to the stage

Screaming strippers with their hair on fire fall off the stage!

Dmitri likes the scenery.

Rhapsody bets @dmi does.

Sikko

Pervert!

There are now elementals on two sides of you all and spreading they are all 5 meters away from madison exactly

Dmitri has an idea.

Tania draws one of her guns, aims and shoots at one of the elementals.

Tania draws a purple, custom designed, Desert Eagle MK. XIX from a black Battlegear(TM) utility belt.

Lead and copper drips from the elemental tania fired upon at the exact point her smartlink crosshairs are on

The fire elementals hiss and spit. "Give us Madison and you all can go free..." For good measure, he shoots a stream of fire at a fleeing patron and sets them ablaze! Genevieve, always quick on her feets, opens fire with the extinguisher on the flaming patron and gives the elementals a dirty look.

Dmitri is enjoying all the fire. Even with the molotov in his hand. <.<

Madison fumes back at the elementals, "You had your chance to talk, and you refused. Tell your masters you need to do better to parley."

Lead and copper drips from the elemental tania fired upon at the exact point her smartlink crosshairs are on

Tania blinks her eyes.

Rhapsody jumps out of the barrier and tries to lay the smackdown on the nearest elemental! "HIYAH!" Her foot flies in a beautifully twisted roundhouse at his body!

The elemental falls off it's salamander mount! It gets up shakily with a charred footprint in it's chest and a growl in it's throat.

Rhapsody jumps back under the barrier!

A short girl with short black hair and a pink bang cautiously moves in from the south.

3 mounted elementals on each side smash at the space infront of them

Madison looks somewhat strained, working on the barrier.

@dmi successfully pull the fire alarm! The noise is really annoying and the flashing lights are more disturbing than the strobe at the stage. Water begins to spray from the sprinklers. The elementals hiss and the injured one begins to wail...

The injured one wails, "i'm melting, i'm melting!"

The water doesn't seem to extinguish the flame this round.

Dmitri makes a mad dash at the fire alarms, which he apparently successfully pulls! Dmitri rocks. He turns back at the hissing wailing noise, holding his head for a moment, until the noise dies down a bit before glancing up with a satisfied nod. He wonders why the injured elemental is Elphaba.

And now @dmi is outside the barrier! YAY!

3 elementals on each side smash at the space infront of them while the one furthest from the fire alarm goes to block that side and the one nearest rushes towards Dmitri

The fire wrapped elemental looms over @dmitri with a savage grin on it's twisted face.

A short girl with short black hair and a pink bang blinks her eyes.

Dmitri is drunk, obviously. He runs forwards, upwards, along the wall straight-ahead and then kicks off at an appropriate height, hoping to land -- even on his ass -- behind the elemental, and closer to the group than the wall.

Rhapsody reaches both hands out of the barrier to @dmi, ready to help pull him into safety!

Dmitri releases his hold on the molotov cocktail while in the air, just a few bajilliseconds before you tries to drag him in to safety.

Rhapsody grips @dmi firmly and pulls him in tight, contracting her biceps, she lifts him over her head while spinning about.

Dmitri lands upon you's outstretched arms she pumps them biceps fiercely and lifts him overhead and twirls him. they are both nowhere near 5 meters from Madison

Rhapsody sings, "Shall we dance! Shall we dance! Shall we daaaaaaance!"

Dmitri glance sup at the you above him, offering a grin as she twirls him away.

Tania blinks at the antics of Dmitri and you before twisting to the side, her tail extending to about six meters length and the tip of it whistling at the midsection of the same elemental she shot at before, like a whip, going faster then the speed of sound. *crack!*

Tania glances at the elemental and then at the tip of her tail with a frown, seeing the melted bioskin at the tip.

Tania's tail whips around the fire elemental lashing it fiercely it attempts to swipe the tail but fails and is unharmed by the tail

Tania uses her marvelous tail to keep herself just a few inches off line of fire from the elemental she struck at and therefore evades its attempt to spit flame at her

You is hit by a ball of fire from the salamander near the fire extinguisher it quickly flares up briefly against her armor and is extinguished by the lack of fuel

A short girl with short black hair and a pink bang gets square in the shoulder and is knocks backa bit but stays standing her clothing does not ignite

Whichever elementals were behind Madison rush towards her

Rhapsody staggers forward after being hit with the fireball and growls, the smell of singed fur wafts from her body.

Rhapsody yells at @madison. "Can't you banish them?!"

Madison dives under a table the elementals rushing her smash the table leaving her unharmed... for now.

You is lifting dmitri over head and dancing with him

A short girl with short black hair and a pink bang draws a Semopal vz/88V from A modular black-nylon universal shoulder rig.

A short girl with short black hair and a pink bang takes aim at the elemental closest to her, firing a burst of explosive rounds at it.

A short girl with short black hair and a pink bang burst fires her semopal at the nearest elemental with extreme accuracy all three rounds explode against the surface of the elemental and it blink

The shrapnel melts into a puddle at the feet of the salamander and hardens in the water

A short girl with short black hair and a pink bang frowns like a spoiled child.

Madison gets the frag out hobbles over to friendly people to hide behind, leaving a large sheet of ice for the lizards to deal with.

As Madison scrabbles towards you the entire floor is covered in ice, the sprinklers continue to rain down upon the ice

Madison says to you, in English, "Nah, ferget about the banishing, you'd have to ask Vile that."

Madison says to you, in English, "Should ask yer bouncer to kick that nekkid guy's arse though."

Out of your immediate vacinity events are occuring

Rhapsody is a little bit occupied..

Tania ducks to the side a ways taking a bit more cover.

Dmitri had his awesome moment today.

Rhapsody holds back the spitting fires with the sheer force of her will and magical fortitude. The muscles in her shoulders bunch and she heaves @dmitri, aiming to toss him behind the shield of the heavy bar!

Dmitri thinks this is probably going go hurt. But hey, who can argue with free alcohol?

Tania shouts, in English, "genevieve, duck!"

Genevieve ducks down to fire extinguisher height

Rhapsody successfully heaves @dmi behind the bar and brings her elbows back as her hands curl into threatening fists. Her glowering eyes lower to regard the nearest elemental.

Dmitri flies through the air bounces off the wall in a crash of glass and lands uninjured behind the bar coated in delicious booze

Genevieve yells out the announcement of the new specialty drink for the securoja the dmitri slammer made up of equal parts everything against the back wall all poured onto your face without a glass

Rhapsody would laugh if it were appropriate.

Tania snickers softly.

Rhapsody is the only thing that stands between @madison and certain destruction....

The four elementals who spat last round spit fire at the same targets this round, the injured one spits fire at the bar, the two who were above madison rush towards her and meet you in their way, the other guarding elemental turns towards the door, just as two females one human one elf enters the bar.

Dmitri thinks that would be delicious...

Dmitri is covered in booze and glass and is having a damned fine time.

Rhapsody braces herself and merely narrows her eyes, letting the fire wash over her defenses in a brilliant, shimmering wave.

You is lightly scorched by a fireball from behind her, Tania and A short girl with short black hair and a pink bang both get hit in heavily protected portions of their armor and are unharmed

You screams out "my biscuits are burning, my biscuits are burning!"

The two elementals that were storming towards Madison come to you and strike at her

Rhapsody braces for impact, taking two attacks from either side!

Both elementals evade you's arms while they swing and strike her in the ribs and shoulders causing no effect.

Rhapsody is STRONG!

The injured elemental spits fire at the bar and it errupts in flames that genevive attemtps to extinguish

Dmitri glances around behind the bar, searching for a gun that damned well /better/ be back here...

For the three newcomers they see the bouncer struggling to fight a nekkid man and flames and klaxons coming from the bar. yes a klaxon is technically a sound.

If they enter there are 8 fire elementals 2 engaged in fighting you the rest spitting fire.

Dmitri is also covered in every sort of alcohol that the Se-curo Ja stocks. Later on you may taste him.

Madison will pass on the glass splinters.

Dmitri is sorely tempted by the taps.. just waiting for him. Instead, he grabs for the gun beside the register, concealing himself behind the bar until he can assure himself that it is indeed loaded.

A short girl with short black hair and a pink bang doubts that a grenade would do anything besides cause more damage to everyone else.

A short girl with short black hair and a pink bang takes aim at one of the creatures attacking Rhapsody instead, hoping to distract it as she let's another burst fly.

Dmitri thinks grenades are awesome anyhow.

Yet another burst of semopal fire flies from A short girl with short black hair and a pink bang's gun with perfect accuracy only to melt against the surface of the elemental and drip to the floor and freeze again

A short girl with short black hair and a pink bang was hoping that was enough to distract it..

Madison throws up another barrier to keep the critters away.

The elementals beside rhapsody suddenly stop acting towards her and isntead near her

\An amused, sardonic, masculine, Elven voice./[8 MHz, English]: Um, are the elementals gone?

\an eloquent voice/[8 MHz, English]: NO!

Dmitri glances up over the bar, searching for aforementioned nekkid guy(tm), gun in hand.

@dmi would know he was outside the bar..

Dmitri skates towards the door and finds the nekkid guy

Dmitri lifts the Ares Daemon, firing towards the nekkid guy(tm) without really taking aim or looking at the situation.

Dmitri is the super-Russian booze machine.

The nekkid man and the bouncer are peppered with exploding buckshot and the nekkid one crumpled while numerous bits of shrapnel bounce off the bouncer and uh (dmitri roll body to resist tn 2).

Meanwhile...

All the elementals roar out and charge the nekkid man trampling anything in their path (again dmitri roll body tn 2)

One of them passes close enough to Dmitri to light the dmitri slammer on fire

The bouncer releases the nekkid man as all 8 elementals engulf him at once somehow engulfing each other to do so and he burns up

Dmitri is ...awesomely on fire. But thoroughly pissed off that the booze is going to waste.

Tania says to Genevieve, in English, "quick, douse him."

Genevieve quickly rushes accross the floor in the ice free tracks of the elementals and extinguishes Dmitri

The elementals fade from view

Tania blinks her eyes.

Dmitri starts to yell about the alcohol... but is quickly swamped in extinguisher. He gargles and falls to the ground.

Tania slips a purple, custom designed, Desert Eagle MK. XIX into a tactical nylon thigh holster.

Tania sniffles sadly while looking at the tip of her tail.

A short girl with short black hair and a pink bang slips a Semopal vz/88V into a leather rifle strap.

Rhapsody slumps to the floor in a shivering heap.

Madison releases the barrier and helps you up again.

Rhapsody smiles gratefully as @madi helps her find her feet.

Tania says, in English, "frag, this bioskin is supposed to be good for more then a thousand degrees celsius."

Dmitri just lays on the ground, still white with foam that's beginning to dissipate. His clothes are tatters, and his face is greasy with soot.

Tania peers around, looking as if she has trouble seeing everything clearly.

Tania glances at Dmitri while grinning widely.

Rhapsody takes @madi by the hands. "We really need to find out how to solve your problem"

Tania says to Dmitri, in English, "lazy bum, get up already."

Madison says, in English, "Yeh, that'd be nice."

Dmitri spits out some more soot and drek, glancing up at Tania, "Gehyt hihym zahm vohdkhah."

Tania snickers softly.

You give A Molotov Cocktail to Dmitri.

Madison says to Tania, in English, "jus' set'im in a corner under a sprinkler for a bit, why don't cha?"

Tania says to Dmitri, in English, "gimme back my lighter."

A short girl with short black hair and a pink bang looks at Daedalus.

Dmitri ...is going to make a new policy at Hooligans. All sprinklers must dispense alcohol.

Genevieve resets the fire system...the sprinklers dribble to a stop.

A short girl with short black hair and a pink bang sighs, drenched from the water.

Tania grabs dmitri's shoulder and drags him to a corner right under a sprinkler.

Madison heartily endorses that product and/or service.

Dmitri tosses the lighter up at Tania, peering at the new drink cautiously. ...He is then dragged to a corner.

You give a lowball glass of Stolichnaya Vodka to Dmitri.

Talos walks into the bar to see a nekkid man shot down by Dmitri, followed by being engulfed by elementals. He doesn't seem to be phased by this, as this might even be considered normal for the Se-curo Ja.[/b][/i]

2nd part of Story Arc: Told from the perspective of Rhapsody

Alba, surrounded by a spell aura slides into a chair and sets her cyberdeck on the table. She slides a cable into the jackpoint, fastening the coupler, and slides another cable into the datajack on her head. She sets off to hop around a few RTG's and redirect her datatrail before settling into the Tacoma LTG and attempting to locate the Learson Shipyards host.

Alba, surrounded by a spell aura's icon is modelled after a water elemental.

The salt air oxidized gates of the Learson Shipyards yields to your deception. A few icons pass from virtual building to virtual building. Some security guard dogs stalk the yard, a little more than usual due to the events of the past week.

Alba, surrounded by a spell aura looks over the scene and observes the icons passing from building to building. She doesn't believe she's been detected /yet/ so. avoiding the obvious guard dogs, she immediately sets out to search for a path to a host that would contain corporate accounts, or corporate relationships.

The rusted gates swing closed behind @alba.

Alba, surrounded by a spell aura looks out at the scene and waits patiently.

@alba's Browse utility points in a little stream of water to a large building overlooking the water that has a sign over the door reading Main Office and a Crane that has the container index.

Alba, surrounded by a spell aura waits patiently, just sitting there until she believes the coast is clear. She shoots forward, low across the stream, the feet of her watery form melding with it as she traverses the distance towards the building containing the crane.

Inside the crane there is a 3D display on the winshield overlooking the yard of the present layout of containers. Each icon is selectable and there is a calendar and crane icon to the side of this legend.

There is a date on the current month calendar that is blinking red.

Alba, surrounded by a spell aura enters the crane, and closely examines the available icons. Her attention is drawn to the calendar, and she selects this icon. She pays attention to the blinking date, thinking it may indicate something was wrong that day, and that it's relevance might prove useful. She searches for what kind of container traffic occured that day.

A log of times and shipyard layout is presented in dual window frames of green glowing icons as @alba selects the calendar icon. Beginning at 21:00 the time icons blink a furious red and there is a little yellow square tagged between the hours of 21 & 22:00.

You are currently looking at the 0:00 hour layout for the day in question.

Alba, surrounded by a spell aura waits, and thinks, looking over what she sees, taking it all in. After a while, she reaches forward with her translucent, watery hand and selects the yellow square tagged between the hours of 21 & 22:00.

Alba, surrounded by a spell aura wants to see, of course, the 21:00 layout for the day in question.

The yellow square expands to cover a quarter of the screen with a scrolling note from the Dockmaster Havart about this time in question. It reads: "columns g through o were effected by a hack occuring at 2100 and rows 4 through 10. column m and n between rows 5 and 8 were entirely hollowed out and piled upon columns g and o rows 4 through 10 while and all columns g through o rows 4 and 10. several containers have not been accounted for in the reassembly. specifically the fourth and fifth levels of pile h5 and i6. it is suspected those were misrouted and not found since."

Alba, surrounded by a spell aura fiddles with the display, attempting to see if she is able to cross-reference the crates that have been tampered with electronically or misrouted with Aztechnology.

After @alba is finished with the note, it minimizes again and the layout of the shipyard for 21:00 maximizes to fill the virtual display. You can choose to watch it in realtime, or pause, manipulate and inspect at your leisure.

In the 20 years of logs there are 20000 instances of aztech owning a container in piles h5 and i6

Alba, surrounded by a spell aura looks over the search results and proceeds to try to narrow down the search.

On the day in question prior to the hack there were 5 containers owned by aztech affiliates. one on the bottom of pile h5 under the care of manny friedburg of aztechnologys global information systems division, the third from the bottom of pile h5 under the care of selma hayek of aztechnology's head in a jar immortality division, the fifth from the bottom of h5 under the care of manny friedburg of aztechnology's global information systems division, the 8th from the bottom under the care of juan diaz of aztechnology's acme program, and the top of pile i6 under the care of juan diaz of aztechnology's magical research division.

Alba, surrounded by a spell aura looks over this information, and while considering what to do with it takes the opportunity to analyze the security of the host. She briefly sloshes out of her seat in the crane and scans all around her.

Your analyze utility flashes your display with OrangeEasy-Nine Security Tally II.

A clown icon (umc clown4 if you know the universal matrix code icons) suddenly materializes and starts flying around the containers

Alba, surrounded by a spell aura swiftly attempts to execute a graceful logoff command.

Rhapsody smiles as @alba wakes to consciousness.

Aquila looks at Alba.

You say, "Welcome back."

Alba, surrounded by a spell aura's icon vanishes from the host. She pulls the end of the cable out of her datajack and inhales sharply, returning to her senses.

Aquila says to Alba, in English, "You ok?"

Alba, surrounded by a spell aura says to Aquila, in English, "Yea, I'm fine."

Aquila beams a smile at Alba.

Aquila nods solemnly.

You say, "So! Did you copy what I needed?"

Alba, surrounded by a spell aura scratches her head.

Alba, surrounded by a spell aura says to you, in English, "I should probably head back and get a hard copy, huh?"

Rhapsody smiles a little tightly. "That is what I am looking for.."

Daedalus says, in English, "what did you need now?"

Alba, surrounded by a spell aura says to you, in English, "It was information on five crates belonging to Aztechnology that went missing after an electronic hacking incident, is what I'd found."

Alba, surrounded by a spell aura slides the cable from her deck into her datajack, "Ahh, I have information on it with me, actually." She uninstalls a file from the deck and hands it to you.

Rhapsody nods and pockets the goods. "Please wipe your deck now."

Alba, surrounded by a spell aura wipes the information from her cyberdeck, and removes the cable from her datajack. She nods to you, "Done."

You say, "Good job!"

Alba, surrounded by a spell aura says to you, in English, "Thank you, I appreciate the employment."

Aquila clambers to her feet.

Rhapsody looks over the data as she loads it into her secretary. "Wait"

Alba, surrounded by a spell aura says OOCly, "Well, what would an icon represent like that, aside from IC or a decker?"

Alba, surrounded by a spell aura nods in your direction.

Rhapsody frowns and looks up at @alba. "How do I get a hold of these people?"

Daedalus pulls his watch out of his pocket checks the time and puts his watch back in his pocket

Alba, surrounded by a spell aura says to you, in English, "I should be able to get contact information of Aztech's servers for you. That information might even be public access."

Rhapsody nods. "That would be satisfactory."

Alba, surrounded by a spell aura slides the end of her datajack into her pocket secretary and accesses the matrix in a tortoise-type mode. If the information is public, she should be able to get it this way.

When doing a search for information on Juan Diaz, Salma Hayek and Manny Friedburg within the Aztech company directory, you learn that there are 1,068,000 hits for Juan Diaz. Lots of pop-up sites for Salma Hayek and adverts for Head-In-A-Jar Immortality. Manny Friedburg was a speaker at the Aztech Conference for Matrix Host Sculpting and Management in May.

Alba, surrounded by a spell aura rolls her eyes and removes the cable from her datajack. She curses at her pocket secretary, "I hate this thing!"

You raise your eyebrow at Alba curiously.

Alba, surrounded by a spell aura connects back into the jackpoint through her deck and heads off to Aztechnology to search specifically for how to contact, "Manny Friedburg of aztechnologys global information systems division," "selma hayek of aztechnology's head in a jar immortality division," "juan diaz of aztechnology's acme program," and "juan diaz of aztechnology's magical research division." She's hoping that the processing power and simsense of the cyberdeck will provide for refined results, and when necessary looks for information regarding missing crates to cross-reference with them.

You enter the seattle rtg and quickly find and connect to the public level of the aztechnology pyramid, though what you want is a little less public. attempting to connect to the private ltg with their employement directories...

You come to the hollowed out inside of the pyramid. blood flows from an altar at the center of the room and to your right is a directory of floors and managers

Manny is listed as running global information systems division analyzing that subsection you find he has been awol since last week and is presumed kidnapped.

Alba, surrounded by a spell aura notes the information and waits a few moments before performing a search on Selma Hayek of the head in a jar immortality division.

Selma Hayek is currently on tour of Europe marketing the Aztech Head-In-A-Jar technology. One can leave a message with her secretary, Juanita Diaz for further information and scheduled appearances.

Alba, surrounded by a spell aura again notes the information and waits for a bit, glancing side to side before accessing the directory once more to search for Juan Diaz of aztechnology's acme program.

A giant, blood-shot eyeball rises from the altar and gazes around.

You gain JD in ACME's info.

Alba, surrounded by a spell aura doesn't bother to analyze the eyeball, she's just gonna' kill the fucker. She looks at it and, assuming she has initiative lifts a watery arm towards it as a powerful burst of water shoots towards it.

@alba squirted water in the eyeballs vision, making it dazed and confused. It's kinda like looking from a windshield in a carwash..

Which way did he go George? Which way did he go?

Alba, surrounded by a spell aura turns to the directory and waits, biding her time before performing the search on the last individual, Juan Diaz of aztechnology's magical research division.

This JD is in telesma requisitions for the magical research division of Aztech and you gain his contact information.

Alba, surrounded by a spell aura doesn't hesitate to perform a graceful logoff operation.

You are grabbed by the ankle by a thorny vine that you previously had not noticed.

Your Icon takes a light wound

Do you continue trying to log off?

The vine unravels and gets sucked back into the alter like spaghetti.

Alba, surrounded by a spell aura scans the area looking for any IC present.

The vine is still around your leg somehow

Alba, surrounded by a spell aura lowers both her hands towards the vine, spraying powerful bursts of water at it, hoping to loosen the grip, blast it away, or simply crash the IC. Her body swirls with motion as the water shoots forth.

The vine withers and dies under Alba's assault. Alba notices the sun rising over the alter, bathing her in brilliant, heated light!

Alba, surrounded by a spell aura looks up at the sun, and quickly averts her eyes. Uncomfortable from the light and heat she quickly attempts to gracefully logoff once more.

Alba's icon evaporates to a M wound under the scorching heat of the sun. And her masking is reduced by 3.

The pyramid fades away and Alba wakes up where her meatbod is.

Alba, surrounded by a spell aura's icon fades from the host. She inhales sharply, returning to her senses again, she wipes a bit of sweat from her forehead. She slides the cable out of her datajack and unfastens the cable from the jackpoint. She offers one of the cables to you, "Here, should be able to upload the contact information directly to your pocsec. Mr. Friedburg, however, seems to unavailable as you should see."

Rhapsody sticks the cable into her pocsec a little awkwardly and the information automatically loads up.

Alba, surrounded by a spell aura quickly packs away her gear.

Alba, surrounded by a spell aura looks around to the group, "Well, let's blow this popsicle stand."

You say, "Thank you for your assistance in this matter, Alba."

Told from the perspective of Daedalus

Alba just having deposited her cash at the ATM at the UCAS Bank walks away from the mahcine and begins walking west on Espanoza. She makes this trip a lot, nothing unusual.

A black, stretch limo pulls up to the curb where Alba walks and the pitch black tinted rear window winds down. From inside the dim lit interior, a voice resounds,"Please, would you join me, miss?" It is not a threatening voice, but the scarred face that comes to the open window could give one pause.

Alba stops walking and scans the area all around her quickly before training her gaze on the man in the limo. "You're welcome to get out and speak to me, but don't expect me to get in."

Approximately 10 meters infront of you there are 2 men in body armor, wearing leopard masks. there are 2 more accross the street and another 2 behind you.

The latino, scarred-faced man smirks and holds his palms up in a cheeky kind of shrug. "Come on miss. I'm no gonna bite you." A guard exits the passenger side of the driver area of the limo and approaches.

The guard opens the rear door unthreateningly and gestures for the lady to enter as the scarred man slips back into the interior.

Alba takes a deep breath. She looks at the guard and walks slowly towards the limo. She takes a good look inside for anything suspicious but doesn't get in quite yet. She says to the man inside, "At least tell me who you are."

The man nods graciously and gestures dramatically,"My name is Rene Ramirez." The interior only holds Rene.

Alba nods slowly, she enters the vehicle warily and takes a seat.

The guard shuts the door firmly behind Alba and seconds later the limo pulls away from the curb and cruises down Espanoza away from the Aztech pyramid..Rene smiles at Alba and asks,"I know you are wondering why I invited you here, there is only one reason. And I think you know it...", his eyes seem kind, encouraging Alba to divulge the information he needs as quickly and painlessly as possible..

Alba shrugs lightly, "I don't know what you're talking about. Do I look like a joygirl to you?" She glances down at her rifle in her strap before looking back to the man.

Rene tsks his tongue and shakes a finger at Alba. "No need for violence, Miss...I want to know why you were so interested in Manny Friedburg."

Alba scratches at her forehead and then holds her hand foreward from her face a bit, "Who the hell is Manny Friedburg?"

Rene sighs in exasperation and points to a screen. Alba's water elemental icon is playing around in the fountain of Aztech's registry, pulling up personnel files..He gives Alba a no bulldrek, straight edge look, obviously hoping that she doesn't keep pretending to know nothing.

Alba looks over the screen curiously, "Oh, that! Yea, I wanted to contact Manny to see if he had any positions opening up in the Global Information Systems division, or any work that needed to be done, you know? Nothin' special, heard he was the guy to talk to." She says this to Rene with a straight face.

Rene states,"We also know that you were tooling around at the Learson Docks. I want to know who hired you and why."

Alba glances out the window to try to figure out where she is, at the moment. She also looks up front to see if there is a driver, or the car's just gridding.

There is a driver and the guard has a pistol trained on your skull through the open privacy window.

Alba turns back to Rene. She says in a firm voice, not flinching, "You can let me out now, I'm done with this conversation."

Rene purses his lips in an apologetic frown. "I need a little something before I let you walk away from this interview..."

Are you perceiving?

Alba was just about to actually scan the area with perception, honestly. She perceives and glances around the limousine.

Rene is strained and not just by his pinched sciatica, hey has extensive cyberware in his head, and whole skeleton. he is mundane with an essence of 2.3. there are several health and manipulation spell signatures upon him.

The guard in the front passenger seat has some cyberware running in his head and to his hand, a magic rating of 5, and is anxious. he is in perfect health.

Rene is strained and not just by his pinched sciatica, hey has extensive cyberware in his head, and whole skeleton. he is mundane with an essence of 2.3. there are several health and manipulation spell signatures upon him.

Alba stops perceiving and with a mental thought she flicks on her pain editor. She talks to Rene, stalling him along, "Was just some guy off the street, you know, I never even got his name. He offered me cold hard cred up front to get the information." All the while she's speaking, she slowly fastens her seatbelt.

Rene asks,"What did this guy look like? Did you run a background check on him like any smart runner would do?"

You don't notice that the spell drained you a bit..

The car doesn't even seem to skid as it passes over the ice sheet.

Car/limo..whatev!

Rene looks expectantly at Alba.

Alba tilts her head to the side, "Background check? Nah, cash up front worked for me, seemed like a nobody if you ask me."

Alba looks to Rene pleadingly, "Can I /please/ go now? I got things to do."

He sighs and shakes his head. "I am afraid that you are lying to me. That has grave consequences."

Alba glances over to the guard with the pistol trained on her head and just stares at him.

As the guard in the front passenger seat slumps the window between front and back darkens

The privacy window rolls up.

Alba clicks her seatbelt undone at first opportunity.

Rene seems chagrined. "I really wish you hadna done that chica..."

The air conditioner is running full blast, before it was just a mild air circulation.

Alba feels groggy and the edges of her vision blur.

Rene grabs at his throat and his body begins to relax against the cushions of the seat.

Alba turns to the door of the vehicle and raises an arm towards it.

The hinges of the door stay as the lock snaps and the door swings open, the car is traveling about 60 kph

Alba sits next to the open doorway and pulls her knees up to her chest. She slows her breathing and makes a gesture from above her to below her.

The car swerves suddenly to the right? (whichever would accelerate you towards the unconscious rene)

Alba suddenly falls into the unconscious Rene. As soon as she gains her bearings she tries to make her way back to where she was and assume the same position.

Alba forms a white ball of a physical barrier around her. She has no idea how hurt she is, or if she's hurt at all, and she can't see very well. She does her best to roll out the open door of the vehicle.

Rolling around in the back of a limo sure sounds like a good idea when dopped up on neurostun but in actuality that physical barrier gets caught on all sorts of stuff like the door and the front seat

Alba releases the barrier so at least she can have a little more control over herself. She sits in the back of the limo and begins to enter a trance. Her astral form peeks through the privacy window and observes the scene, particularly hoping to find that the unconscious guard was left perceiving.

In the front compartment is a highly focused driver and a backwards facing unconscious armored man with a jaguar mask on

Alba positions herself in between the driver and the window and manifests. Her form is a robed figure and she starts laughing in the driver's face. "Stop the car, or I /will/ kill you" she says.

The driver doesnt even turn to face the manifestation. in other news the aztec pyramid is rapidly growing in the view through the windshield.

Alba snaps back to her body, gets in a seat and buckles up. She looks to the front of the vehicle and begins chanting in Enochian, her voice soft, but clear.

Alba again enters a trance, her astral form flowing from her body to the front of the limousine, she attempts to enter the body of the guard and take control of him.

It's a strange feeling, sinking into another's flesh...smelling their foreign scent in your nostrils and counting yourself with parts you weren't born with. Your mind fights for dominance with the guard's unconscious self, as you decide what you're going to do next. The possession was successful, for the moment...

Alba reaches for the gun and brings it up to aim at the driver's head. She pulls the trigger.

The driver's jaw is shot off! The gory splatter of blood and tissues slap into the windshield and driver's side window. His arms fly up to belatedly cover his injury, an elbow goes flailing into Alba's eye causing it to bruise.

Alba bats away the elbow and stumbles back a bit in the guard's body. He immediately reaches for the emergency brake and pulls back on the lever hard with his left hand.

The autonav swerves the limo to a sudden stop without actually hitting anything

Alba looks around for the button to control the privacy screen.

She finds it easily...it slides back down

Several people are running towards you

Alba ignores the people for now. Using the guard's body she climbs into the back as quick as she can and places his pistol against the front of Rene's forehead, point blank. He pulls the trigger.

Some blood comes out of his head (assuming you removed the gun from his head after firing) the bullet is still visible on the surface of his head.

A diesel engine is idling very nearby

Alba pulls the gun back and views the body. The guard sighs and quickly puts the gun to Rene's chest, right about where his heart should be. She forces the guard to pull the trigger. She's still ignoring what's going outside.

A torrent of white foam floods around Alba through the open door of the limo! It solidifies around all the bodies in the backseat of the limo like quick-crete, arresting Alba of any bodily movement.

Alba dismounts from the guard's body, leaving him unconscious, she returns to her own.

Alba can't move, she just waits for now.

An industrial mover comes and picks up the limo. It moves for about five minutes before being put back down.

A drone's arm extends into the portal of the door that is still accessible and through a little tube, shoots a dart into Alba's neck.

Alba doesn't even feel it.

Alba is unconscious for a time. She wakes up with a magemask on and in a room with mirrors on every surface and a thin strip of low yeild track lights around the seam of the ceiling.

Told from Rhapsody's POV


You say to Tenpenny, "And I don't know what Aztech is up to with Madison...but from what I've seen, it can't be good"

Rhapsody hangs her head.

You lick Genevieve.

A person wearing an olive-green "Bullocks to This!" armored jacket's eyes are guarded by that statement.

You say, "Don't tell Vile!"

Rhapsody blushes furiously under her fur.

Tenpenny says to you, in English, "Ah, the Azzies, eh? I figured somethin' 'long those lines. Some chump shows up flashin' pictures, never a good thin'."

A average person wearing an olive-green "Bullocks to This!" armored jacket says to you, in English, "What, about the Big A or about Bonnie an' Bunny?"

You say, "Big A, Bonnie and Bunny?"

\sounds like Samuel L. Jackson(Tenpenny)/[8 MHz, English]: Any word on our girl, man?

Rhapsody looks confuzzled

A person wearing an olive-green "Bullocks to This!" armored jacket nods in your direction.

\A light male tenor(Gryphon)/[8 MHz, English]: Fixing to check my sec.

Face says to you, in English, "Which ain't we supposed to fill Vile in on?"

\A light male tenor(Gryphon)/[8 MHz, English]: Nothing on my end. You?

\sounds like Samuel L. Jackson(Tenpenny)/[8 MHz, English]: Nope. I'm gettin' real worried now, man.

You say, "Oh...my love affair with Genevieve"

Tenpenny starts laughing.

Tenpenny mimes zipping his lips.

\A light male tenor(Gryphon)/[8 MHz, English]: Same. You at the usual?

Face's lips form an 'ooOOoooh' of understanding.

\sounds like Samuel L. Jackson(Tenpenny)/[8 MHz, English]: No, the opposite.

Rhapsody pronounces Genevieve like "jawn-vee-evv"

\A light male tenor(Gryphon)/[8 MHz, English]: Whoa. Really?

\sounds like Samuel L. Jackson(Tenpenny)/[8 MHz, English]: Yep.

Tenpenny is glad. 'Jenna-veeve' sounds dumb.

\A light male tenor(Gryphon)/[8 MHz, English]: Where's the opposite of your room? Are you outside?

A person wearing an olive-green "Bullocks to This!" armored jacket pronounces it like "Hey you!" but what the hell does she know?

You say to Tenpenny, "What'cha talkin about?"

Rhapsody points to her radio again

Tenpenny says to you, in English, "Eh, we've got an emm-eye-aye on our hands, tryin' to track down our girl."

Rhapsody winces. "Whozit?"

Tenpenny says to you, in English, "Alba. Good lookin' thin' with dreads. Dunno if you two've met or not."

Rhapsody twists her lips to one side. "Wha..wha..wha...what?!"

Rhapsody nibbles on her nails.

Tenpenny raises an eyebrow at you. "What, you know somethin' I don't?"

Face starts to count something on her fingers.

\sounds like Samuel L. Jackson(Tenpenny)/[8 MHz, English]: I had a hankerin' for the killer mozz sticks.

Tenpenny sips from a lowball glass of Azlan Patron Reposado tequila.

Tenpenny tastes a little bit of a dozen pan-fried mozzarella sticks.

You say, "How long has it been?"

Tenpenny says to you, in English, "Couple days? Hard to tell. Only reason I noticed when I did was she was due in for a report on....a project."

A person wearing an olive-green "Bullocks to This!" armored jacket notices Tenpenny's choice of drink, "That taste good, omae? Comes from Aztlan if I ain't wrong, hmm?"

Rhapsody leans forward,"What type of project?"

Tenpenny leans towards you. "Personal project. Wha's in yer head, Blue?"

Tenpenny says to Face, in English, "'course it do. I's still drinkin' it, ain't I?"

Tenpenny sips from a lowball glass of Azlan Patron Reposado tequila.

Rhapsody shakes her head and leans back. "You can't ask me to share intel without givin' a little!" She laughs merrily with a toss of her wild blue mane. "You know the code man! Been walkin' these streets almost as long as me...and you ain't dead yet

A person wearing an olive-green "Bullocks to This!" armored jacket knows her cue, "Uh...I gotta see a guy with horns and a pitchfork about a soul. I'm smoke!"

A person wearing an olive-green "Bullocks to This!" armored jacket winks suggestively at you.

A person wearing an olive-green "Bullocks to This!" armored jacket nods towards Tenpenny.

Rhapsody frowns.

Tenpenny laughs abruptly. "I'm not? Coulda fooled me."

You say to Tenpenny, "Nope."

Face leaves the smell of brylcreem wafting in the room as she sets out to the south.

Tenpenny says to you, in English, "But okay, what'cha wan' know?"

Rhapsody 's eyes linger on the other woman as she heads out.

Talos says, in English, "Says nothin' to me before she leaves?"

Talos shrugs helplessly.

You say, "What is she supposed to be reporting on?"

Tenpenny says to you, in English, "She was due to bring me a stack of photographs I'd paid her for. Her'n her girlfriend's way of supplementin' their income, I suppose. She never showed, no call...Nothin'. Just up an' disappeared like."

Rhapsody twists her lips to one side. "I smell bulldrek." Her arms fold over her chest and she gives @tenpen a "Puh-leeze" kinda stare.

Tenpenny grins at you, recognizing 'the look'. "You don't believe me."

Tenpenny says to you, in English, "What's so hard to believe about me payin' her for explicit photos?"

You say, "Bree would have your...wait a sec she already does...ah-um..." She laughs at her not-so-funny-joke.."Because seriously..you're not going to have those on you, dude"

You say, "And you wouldn't freak out if she wasn't there to give 'em to you"

You say, "What you gonna say to Bree, "I'm worried because I haven't seen another woman...she's supposed to give me smutty pictures?" I don't think so"

Tenpenny starts laughing.

Tenpenny says to you, in English, "Those pictures, the sets previous to the ones I'm yet to receive, are in the safe that I share with my woman. Hell, she's asked me if she could see'em. So, you get points for knowing me, I normally -wouldn't- freak out if she was late, or didn't show up. But, on the other hand, it's Alba, this is beyond uncharacteristic for her. If she couldn't make it, she would have sent me a message, or called. Not to mention that she's not responding to *anyone's* attempts to contact her. /That's/ what's got me worried."

Rhapsody nods. "Hmmm..well...is there anything dangerous that she was doing?"

You say, "Cause nudie photos ain't it"

Tenpenny says to you, in English, "Well, that's what we're discussin', ain't it. Now, I showed you mine, let's see yours."

Tenpenny smirks.

You say, "I know she's done some decking in the past week.."

Tenpenny raises an eyebrow at this. "Oh? How do you know that?"

You say, "Because I hired her."

Tenpenny nods his head, and takes another sip from his glass. "Did she collect?"

You say, "Yep"

Rhapsody looks vewwy vewwy nervous.

Tenpenny takes another sip. "I'm gon' go ahead an' assume it was a particularly dangerous job, since y'all didn't take care of it yerselves, yeah?"

Rhapsody points to her head and looks @ten square in the face. "Do I look like I gotta jack?"

Tenpenny looks back at you. "No, but I've learned not to judge based on looks. 'sides, I know y'all are quite capable of handlin' just about anythin' ya want. Yer man's got one, don't he?"

You say, "My man don't do anything I ask him to, now you know that!"

Rhapsody seems exasperated.

You say, "And since when it is a crime to pay off a runner? I mean...that's what they're in biz for, right?"

You say, "He's the epitome of a cocksure, un-pussy whipped male."

Tenpenny raises an eyebrow at you. "Was just an observation. Gettin' kinda defensive, there, Blue."

You say, "Well, the job was supposed to be an easy one..."

Rhapsody frowns darkly and studies the floorboards in thought.

Tenpenny says to you, in English, "'Was supposed to be'?"

Face obliviously tromps in from the south.

A person wearing an olive-green "Bullocks to This!" armored jacket says, in English, "You chummers done with the secret-secret talk?"

You say to Tenpenny, "An easy data retrieval."

You say to Face, "Cummere and sit yer hoop down"

A person wearing an olive-green "Bullocks to This!" armored jacket goes to perch her butt on a stool.

A person wearing an olive-green "Bullocks to This!" armored jacket sits down.

Tenpenny says to you, in English, "Don't suppose it'd be from chums who'd disappear someone for retrievin' their data?"

Tenpenny sips from a lowball glass of Azlan Patron Reposado tequila.

You say, "Well, I didn't know exactly what she'd find in all fairness..."

Rhapsody purses her lips sourly.

Face leans towards Talos and whispers loudly, "Who we talkin' about??"

Talos shrugs helplessly.

Tenpenny scratches his head. "Why do I get the feelin' that you know more'n yer tellin' me?"

Tenpenny smirks.

Tenpenny sips from a lowball glass of Azlan Patron Reposado tequila.

You say to Tenpenny, "Of course I know more!"

You start laughing.

Tenpenny smirks.

You say, "But you don't tell me -drek- anymore..."

A person wearing an olive-green "Bullocks to This!" armored jacket leans towards Talos again and whispers loudly, "Okay."

Talos says to Tenpenny, in English, "Finish those things yet?"

Tenpenny says to you, in English, "That's a fair point, I suppose. I'd tell you that I been busy, but you know better'n that, don'cha?"

Rhapsody does.

Tenpenny says to you, in English, "So what's it gon' take? All I'm carin' about is findin' our girl."

Tenpenny makes some vague motion towards Talos, maybe not meant to mean anything at all.

You say to Tenpenny, "I care about that too, don'cha know."

Tenpenny says to you, in English, "So wha's with the wall?"

You say, "I need to find out how or if I am involved..."

Tenpenny scratches his head, looking confused and expectant, as if awaiting further explanation.

Face leans towards Talos again and whispers loudly, "They been goin' back an' forth like this for *how* long?"

Talos shrugs helplessly.

You say, "Look, Tenpenny...I got a situation on my hands that involves more people than just one."

You say, "You got the one at the moment."

Rhapsody seems a little exasperated.

Tenpenny says to you, in English, "If your problem involves my person, then we share a problem, Blue. I don't know if what you hired her to do led to her disappearance, or not. But us throwin' roadblocks in front of each other ain't helpin' /either/ of our problems, is it?"

Vile checks out the scene for a moment as he swaggers in from the south.

Talos pokes Vile in the ribs.

Rhapsody casts a lovely smile at her darling.

Talos shrugs helplessly.

You say to Tenpenny, "I want MY Tenpenny BACK!"

Vile peers around, looking as if he has trouble seeing everything clearly.

Rhapsody stomps her foot!

You say, "You don't give me drek and expect me to spill my guts out?"

Tenpenny exhales loudly.

Rhapsody palms her forehead with a disgusted sigh. Her hand slaps down to her thigh again. "Listen. I can't trust you while you're dedicated to Hooligans...I just can't."

Tenpenny says to you, in English, "Why? What's honestly changed?"

You say, "A lot has changed....I can't run the risk of having everything I say repeated"

Tenpenny says to you, in English, "Look....I'm here because what equates to my right hand has gone missing, and I need to get her back, and you seem to know something that could help me do that."

You say, "Then you can help -me- do it...this is my show Tenpenny. I am exercising my right."

Rhapsody 's eyes are soft when she says this.

Tenpenny narrows his eyes at you, wondering if that's such a wise idea. "Alright. Fine. My problem with that is that I worry that my person isn't as high up on -your- priority list as she is on mine."

Tenpenny says to you, in English, "But if that's what it's gonna take, then you got me."

Tenpenny thinks to himself, 'Wow, it's been a hell of a long time since I worked with Blue.'

Rhapsody catches that look and reads between the lines. "Sheeeeeit..there once was a time where you were willing to trust me to the ends of the earth..what did I do to disillusion you?"

Tenpenny says to you, in English, "Nothing direct. Maybe I've just gotten paranoid in my old age."

Tenpenny grins.

Rhapsody shakes her head. "Jeezus...I'm afraid that you've been believin' the wrong hype is what."

Tenpenny thinks to himself, 'Probably.'

Tenpenny says to you, in English, "Hype ain't my biz, you know that."

You say, "Trust me, please. Alba is high on my list of priorities if what I think is goin' on is what's goin' on."

You say, "What we need to do now is....find out where she was last seen and hack surveillance until we lose sight of her."

You say, "Or have a mage astrally track her..."

Rhapsody 's eyes slide on up to her lover.

Tenpenny says, in English, "I dun' know nothin' 'bout no magery, but I can make computers get up and dance."

Vile promptly glances over his shoulder, expecting someone else to be standing there.

You say to Tenpenny, "Being that decking is precisely how this drek's been happening, I am wary to walk that track."

Rhapsody stares daggers at @vile.

Pointedly.

Face shakes her head.

Rhapsody scowls at @vile. "Please? Just...try?"

Face plants her chin in her palm and blows spit bubbles.

Vile blinks his good eye a few times, "Wha'..? I kinda jus' zonin' out over 'ere... i'm not even sure wha'cha askin' me."

You say to Vile, "I need you to astrally track someone."

You say, "Please"

Vile scratches his head.

Face leans towards Talos again and whispers loudly, "They reach a conclusion yet?"

Vile says, in English, "Ain' exactly tha' cut an dry, I'd need a few thins' to even attemp' tha' kinda thin'."

You say, "Liiiiike?"

Rhapsody waves her hand in a circle as if drawing out the info from @vile.

A person wearing an olive-green "Bullocks to This!" armored jacket offers, "A hairbrush?" before her eyes are lanced with fear and she clamps her hand over her mouth!

Talos says, in English, "Think that'd actually work, since I'm sure trackin' needs some kinda DNA or a focus bonded to them."

Talos scratches his head.

Vile begins holding up a finger at a time as he lists things off, "Fer starters.. iffn shes a slinger, i'd need one of 'er bonded foci to even attempt.. iffn she ain', my request may git a lil stranger."

Vile shakes his head, "Genetic material won't allow me to track 'er, persay, but it 'as differen' uses."

Talos says, in English, "Right...links."

Vile says, in English, "So, the dame in question awakened by chance an deal wit' some fancy foci?"

You say, "I don't know if she's mage or shaman"

Talos says, in English, "Hermetic."

Vile says, in English, "Who the 'ell ya'll lookin' fer anyways..?"

You say, "Alba"

Vile blinks his good eye a few times, "Oh.."

Vile suddenly seems very disinterested at the idea of helping, and orders a round on that note. "An why am I 'elpin 'gain..?" He remarks, apparently having no idea why he would offer his assistance under the current circumstances.

Vile sips from a can of Hokkaido Nama-Shibori malt beer.

Rhapsody frowns. "Because you love me?"

A person wearing an olive-green "Bullocks to This!" armored jacket snorts defiantly.

Face leans towards Talos again and whispers loudly, "Does that still work?"

You say to Vile, "And by helping her, you are by extension helping me!"

You say, "And Madison!"

Vile snorts defiantly.

Rhapsody wrinkles her nose. "Why you gotta be like that?!"

Rhapsody stares at @vile expectantly

Vile blinks his good eye..

Talos says to Vile, in English, "I'll drink this Hurricane stuff if you don't help with findin' her."

Talos nods sagely.

Vile helps himself to a sip from his hokkaido, lightly licking at his lips afterwards, "Don't owe 'er nothin', an frankly.. I don't really like 'er."

Vile sips from a can of Hokkaido Nama-Shibori malt beer.

You say to Vile, "Why won't you fraggin' help me?"

You say, "It's not about liking HER..."

Talos shrugs helplessly.

Talos drinks tequila from A Hurricane.

Talos drinks tequila from A Hurricane.

Vile idly taps a finger to his lips as he listens, "Mmmm... because yer always tryin' to 'elp folks I personally thin' would be better off 'missin'."

Vile nods sagely.

Talos junks A Hurricane. It vanishes into a recycling bin!

A person wearing an olive-green "Bullocks to This!" armored jacket agrees with Vile.

Face says to you, in English, "He's gotta point, sister!"

You say to Vile, "Look, she was doin' a job for me an' I want to know if she's gotten into trouble cause of me. Now please....just ONCE have my back on this one, please"

Rhapsody gives @tenpen a "What did I tell you" look.

A person wearing an olive-green "Bullocks to This!" armored jacket suddenly notices the UCAS rifle in her lap and blinks in genuine wonder at how the hell it ended-up there!

Rhapsody doesn't glance away from the Mexican Stand-Off.

Vile grumbles grumpily.

Vile says to you, in English, "When -don't- I 'ave yer back..? Yeesh.."

You say, "Right. Here. Right. Now."

Rhapsody thinks a second.."And...when that punk had a gun to my head...so I figger you owe me, man"

Face figures that Vile sure did a bad boo-boo with Bonnie's beau.

Vile waves off the concern with a gesture of his hand, "Fine, fine, you've sandbagged me into 'elpin, I coulda lived wit' bein' extorted 'er somethin', geez..." He blinks his good eye a few times at the latter remark, "Oh.. ya mean the fella who ya introduced yer foot to.. 'ow'd ya do tha' gain, greeted 'is sternum an spine at the same time?" He chuckles at the thought, "Iffn I woulda jumped in, ya woulda claimed I was stealin' yer prey."

Rhapsody giggles madly and snuggles under the shelter of her love's arm. "Thank you darling." She turns to @tenpen. "Now...we need to get a foci of hers, or something DNA-ish"

Rhapsody looks up at @vile. "Right?"

Vile murmurs to himself in the meanwhile before offering a single nod in agreement, "Yeh.. an 'eres why I say the 'strange' par', cause everyone always seems to wanna snag the mos' disturbin' piece of genetic material... gimmie some fraggin hairs: from her scalp, 'er some damn fingernails, don't be creepin' me out."

Talos says to Vile, in English, "Whaddya mean 'disturbing'?"

Vile gives a thumbs-down on a tangent thought, "Gross."

Face inquires, "This spellchucker have a doss?"

Talos says, in English, "Like a finger or an eyeball, or somethin'?"

Vile says to Talos, in English, "Pieces are always the bes'."

Talos says, in English, "I meant that people always seem to use for the genetic material part?"

You say, "A tampon!"

Vile says to you, in English, "This is why I didn' wanna 'elp."

Vile facepalms.

Face says to Vile, in English, "Didn't figure you fer the squeamish type, Vilester."

Talos says, in English, "An' yeah, she's up in H5 of the Hoolies' place."

Rhapsody laughs.

Vile says to Face, in English, "'ey, even I 'ave standards."

You say to Face, "He makes excuses"

Talos says, in English, "Before I had my key taken away, anyways."

Vile says to Talos, in English, "Sneaky bastard."

Talos shrugs helplessly.

Vile nods sagely.

A average person wearing an olive-green "Bullocks to This!" armored jacket shrugs matter-of-factly, "There you go, then. Find something from her conapt and voila! Instead fekkin's trail right to her!"

\an eloquent voice/[8 MHz, English]: I need to speak to a Hooligan at the Ja

\A softspoken man's voice with a british accent(Ikarys)/[8 MHz, English]: She's hot, you oughta take her up on that offer

\A deep and raspy voice, with a nervous twang.(Duine)/[8 MHz, English]: *laughter*

Gryphon walks in from the south.

Gryphon nods to those in the room, "You rang Miss Rhapsody?"

Face says, in English, "God's horns, dat was quick!"

Face says to Gryphon, in English, "You guys open a pizza place and you'd clean up!!"

Gryphon says to Face, in English, "I had just come from Dante's."

You say, "I need you to go into Alba's room and get me a foci or something personal with her DNA on it"

Gryphon says to you, in English, "Going to try and track her?"

You nod solemnly.

You say, "Vile is"

Gryphon says to you, in English, "Let me go see what I can find then."

Vile adds in, "Unfortunately."

Gryphon walks out to the south.

Rhapsody gives @vile another "look"

Vile peers around, looking as if he has trouble seeing everything clearly.

A person wearing an olive-green "Bullocks to This!" armored jacket scratches at the lice in her hair.

Gryphon walks in from the south.

You say to Face, "I am gonna pin you down in soapy water someday."

Gryphon sighs, "She must clean a lot. Couldn't find a hair or anything, nor any foci, but she does have a circle that she should be able to be found with."

Face says to you, in English, "Kinky!"

Face says to Gryphon, in English, "Did she sleep on the floor?"

Vile says to Gryphon, in English, "A circle is fine, 'is tuned to a specific aura to conjure, better than a ritual link."

You say to Gryphon, "But, will you let us inside?"

Face blinks her eyes.

Face says to you, in English, "Why wouldn't they?!"

You say to Face, "Because we're not Hooligans"

Vile remarks (off-coloured as always) on that note, "Fuck Hooligans."

Face says to you, in English, "Hey, I let strangers in my doss alla time! It's just biz!"

Vile nods sagely.

Vile says, in English, "An shes got stuff worth stealin' atleas', ya ever see wha' she keeps in tha' cardboard box? Luxury."

Face says to Gryphon, in English, "It's wiz, right? This is one of yer squaddies, after all!"

You whisper to Face, "You do NOT!"

Face wiggles her eyebrows in you's direction.

Gryphon says to Vile, in English, "I'll let you in. You are the only one who needs to be there right?"

Talos scratches his head.

Face says to Vile, in English, "Yer call, omae. Need someone to watch yer hoop while yer ghostwalkin'?"

Vile says to Face, in English, "I need ya to keep an eye on Rhapsody, not me. I'd prefer not comin' back to bein' molested, atleas' not in public."

Vile wags a finger accusingly towards you.

A person wearing an olive-green "Bullocks to This!" armored jacket snaps her fingers! So close!!

A person wearing an olive-green "Bullocks to This!" armored jacket was going to have Vile find his underwear on backwards when he came back.

Rhapsody gapes in shock!

Vile is going commando today, so everyone would be in their share of surprises at the end of the day.

A person wearing an olive-green "Bullocks to This!" armored jacket says to Vile, in English, "I read you. I'll be keepin' a very...close...eye on my sister slaughter, here!"

Face winks suggestively at you.

Vile grumbles grumpily.

Vile enters Alba's room above Hooligans and easily spots her carefully laid circle.

Rhapsody meanwhile wrestles with @arn in soapy water!! BUBBLES! MY BUBBLES!!

Gryphon stands next to the circle watching Vile, "Is there anything I need to do other than stand here?"

Vile shakes his head in response to Gryphon's question, "Eh, not really, jus' stand there lookin' tough, it won't 'elp, but it'll be amusin' to me."

Gryphon smirks, and leans back against the wall to watch.

Vile glances around for a good place to stash his body in the meanwhile, and eventually just resorts to sitting against a nearby wall, yawning heavily before rubbing his good eye, "Welp, guess we should get this on the road then."

The circle just lays there quietly

Vile closes his good eye and leans his head back against the wall, slowly inhaling, and on the exhale he conciously seperates his aura from its physical anchor, which promptly stands free of its restraint and strolls on over to the circle in question (he would be mildly creeped out if the circle -wasn't- quiet).

The circle in the astral form looks like a column of shimmering light beaming into the sky like a beacon. The pictures drawn around the rim are like signatures of Alba, her soul inscribed on the floor.

Vile stands there in silent appraisal of the astral barrier formed on this plane by the circle, taking a few moments to analyze it and take in its signatures, "Well ain' tha' fancy.." He remarks before taking his time to stretch his arms and legs, it wasn't as if he really needed to, the whole incorporal thing and what not, habit maybe.

Vile follows the astral signatures of Alba through the streets of the Sprawl, to the UCAS bank. From there she seemed to go around in circles for a while until making a B-line for the Aztechnology Pyramid. He follows her to an elevator in the place that seems filled with FAB.

Also, @vile senses that all sorts of nasty magical stuff is awaiting him inside the pyramid...

Vile would like to note he doesn't like Alba enough to enter into Azzie airspace.. He barely likes -himself- enough to enter into Azzie airspace.

Then, what'cha doin?

Vile will totally get no play for atleast a month if he doesn't, so its a deathwish either way. Atleast the Azzies will go easy on him, they only want to kill him.

Vile skates his way outta the Pyramid and sneaks back into his body, taking a few moments to collect his thoughts before standing back up, "So... yeh, i'm not goin' anywhere near the Pyramid, thas' where yer buddy is at, not pokin' round long 'nough to find out exactly where inside she is." He shakes his head at the thought, "Invadin' azzie astral space..? You can find someone suicidal to do tha', I don't like ya'll folks tha' much."

Gryphon nods, and pushes up from the wall, "That's cool, but I do appreciate you looking for her."

Rhapsody awaits her man's return at the Ja, having sent a CLEAN Face home to bed.

Vile creeps on back to the Ja to hear the horror stories of what you found while washing the legendary street urchin.

Gryphon heads back as well, hoping Tenpenny has showed up again.

Rhapsody takes @vile upstairs and tells him bedtime stories with a little sugar on the side.
